So I was playing power necro on skyhammer using 6/2/0/0/6, this build has only one fear from deathshroud. I go up to the hammer and there is a guard there with hammer/gs. He does binding blade over a glass panel and right when he pulls I interrupt the animation with DS 3 and he gets feared off the edge…. In map chat i see “hur hur fear terror necros are so OP.”

Just strikes me as funny how all classes get categorized into what the community sees as “cheese builds” just because they play that class… What are your stories on people guessing your builds just because you beat them at their own cheese?

My best experience was when I was fighting a mace/shield and hammer Warrior who was going absolutely berserk with stuns, I decided to play his game and fear him to death and he says in say “bulls__t fears.” As though chain stunning someone to death is any different, lmfao.

I haven’t had many people complain but a lot of people seem to assume I’m running a Condition build even though it’s quite the opposite (Traveler runes with full Berserker).

I have even had people duel me and win/lose ask for a rematch to try a new build or whatever and say “Don’t worry it doesn’t have runes of Lyssa”, Then seem mind blown when I point out I’m Power built not Condition. (Even though they just fought me using Power….)

Most people are bad and dislike being reminded of it. In this case, not facerolling you is considered part of this and can be safely ignored.

One can take a loss as a learning opportunity and get better. Or they can just cry. The later is what is known as “scrubs”.

I used to have “dumb fire” thrown at me a good bit before it was nerfed. When I wasn’t running it. And sometimes when I wasn’t even playing condi.

I wouldn’t be too worried about it… often when people get outplayed they QQ. The Guard was outplayed by your quick reflexes – you used a skill from our class mechanic and voila. He saw a Necro and should have expected fears.

About a week ago… I was on my Necro. Some glass engi girl attacked me while I was defending a point and she died and said nothing. I saw a friend (who was also a Necro) come to the point so I started leaving. Next thing I know, the engi is back, and she downed my friend. I came back (she could clearly see me coming back), killed her, and ressed the ally. She said “outplayed”. I said nothing. Later on she (being mad and all) tried to gank the 2 of us and basically kill us both with her burst. My friend downed, while I kited around and was basically hanging by a thread. My friend did the downed state Fear. Then I continued chaining the fear (I was not in a terror/condi duration Necro build) with DS 3, and staff 5. By that time she was almost dead and backed off a bit. Being kitteny, she came back, then the downed friend feared her again with the downed state fear, and we killed her. The friend probably has 50 HP left in his downed state. Next thing you know… “Fear Necros take no skill. Downed state fear from Necro takes no skill, keep fearing no skill Necros”. Apparently it was some well-known sPvP engi too – good sportsmanship right there. Anyway, she/he rage quit, we laughed, and it was a happy ending :P

Naturally. They don’t know what’s killing them. Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to anger, etc.

anger fuels ignorance and fear also leads to more fears. I love fear.

Don’t take it personally. Hate is towards the map, not you or your class.
Who never raged after being OS with a single skill from Skyhammer 3 times in a row ? Ranger, Necro, Guard, War, whatever, I hate them all the same during my fall to death

Ah, this brings back some good memories. Although I really hated sky hammer due to falling to my death quite a lot, I have started to like it more and more after my duels with a warrior there. I killed him 3 times by running over those glass tiles, going back, spectral pulling him on the tile, and finishing with a dark pact. He was cool about it and we ended up being friends, but he got me back good with his hammer -.- people should accept that fear necros, hammer warriors, etc exist.

Nothing beats a Perplexity Engineer reporting me twice for transfering his confusion back to him and breaking shield with Wail of Doom.

People are ignorant. And I like taking an advantage of it on Power Necro since July 26th

Difference is that warrior cc skills all have insane animations, meanwhile deatshroud #3 has no cast-time and can only be dodged with luck. Staff #5 also poor animation.

Had a funny moment yesterday in a dueling lobby. Was challenged by a s/p thief and was called out before it started for being a “cheezmode fear/condi necro” all because I was using signet of spite before the duel even started. Im running the 6/2/0/0/6 power build so I said “Im running a surprise build” and after I beat him in about 10 seconds I think he learned to respect power necros :P

This is true however deathshroud three is evaded all the time because according to Jsharp and company “Dodging is very prevalent in the game.” Also let’s not forget that we have to spec heavily for our fears to do anything but a little bit of CC. On top of that Doom does no damage without traiting and Reapers mark does very little without terror as well….. So warriors get obvious animations because all of their skills hit like a truck traited or not cc’d or not.

Deathshroud 3 should have a long kitten telegraphed animation like Earthshaker so that even my grandma could dodge it, while blindfolded and on life support.

I usually hate mm necro (since i cant show off skills and timing with minions past typical necro required positioning), but i do love to use em when kittened off, in one such case a phantasam mesmer said “ai op, freaking pve noob” was my quote of the week.

Stupidity is op, fear just punishes it more.

When life gives you lemon, ask if its from a anime or manga.

Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to anger, etc.

If only that were an actual trait! Continuously apply fear to ignorant enemies within 1.200.

Deathshroud 3 should have a long kitten telegraphed animation like Earthshaker so that even my grandma could dodge it, while blindfolded and on life support.

If that were to happen then it should get AE and a similar base damage coefficient to Earthshaker to keep it even remotely fair. It’ll still have a lower base CC duration and recharge and a stricter resource gateway.

And then I’ll look forward to the inevitable whines when a Necro Dooms an entire group off a ledge.

And those same people will overlook that other classes can pull off the same thing faster and without any warning.
